Chapter 234:

The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing and setting fire.

In fact, this sentence is not unreasonable, murder will inevitably reveal the trace, but if it is set on fire, it will be relatively simple.

Afterwards, it can be inferred that it was the water, and no one has evidence.

It was late at night, but there were rapid footsteps outside the courtyard.

Although the lights were on in the courtyard, there was a silence. Even these footsteps failed to awaken the people inside.

Wei Dayong personally led people into the courtyard.

"Master Xue?"

He tentatively called twice outside, and when he saw no movement inside, he made a gesture.

Piles of wood were piled up in the corners, and people kept carrying firewood inside. At the same time, someone brought a barrel of oil and splashed it on the firewood, and in front of the door and the window.

"Go on and be a dead ghost, don't complain to me, I have no choice but to ask you to ask those account books. I also blame you for not going directly to Fucheng, but you came to Guangjicang. It's just people like you. Six yuan and first? What a pity. "

Someone handed a torch, and Wei Dayong took it and threw it on the pile of firewood.

The fire suddenly jumped a few people high, and then turned into a raging fire. Wei Dayong stopped to look at it for a while, and did not rush away with the smoke until the smoke filled up.

In the dark night, the orange soaring fire light is particularly eye-catching.

After a while, someone found out that while screaming for water, screaming for fire.

Everyone came to fight the fire with a bucket, but unfortunately the fire was only controlled and no longer spread, but there was no one to enter, and it could only be burned.

Wei Dayong got the news and hurried to rush in. He just wanted to rush inside, and he sent the masters one by one in his mouth. It was the servants next to him who held him tightly before he rushed in.

"If you let go, the boss is still inside. If something like this happens, the Lord will definitely take the head of the official ..."

"You also know that you can't keep your head up?"

In the dark, someone said so suddenly. Obviously the voice is not loud, but it is strangely penetrated into everyone's ears.

A light breeze blew away the dark clouds that shrouded the moon, which made people seem to stand in the shadow over there.

"you……"

Wei Dayong's upper and lower teeth squeaked, and he was surprised that the beads of his eyes protruded.

"Why? It's a surprise that the official wasn't there?" Xue Tingyan smiled softly and walked forward a few steps, his figure was exposed to people's eyes.

In a scarlet gold embroidered python robe, that's the expression of a very human subject,

"Actually, this officer is also thinking of you. You said that you are alive and well, you do n’t go in heaven, there is no door in hell, but you just break in. Gee, huh, people, it ’s easy to think about it, you said that what you do is not good, Do such a shameful business. "

"Take him down!" As another male voice sounded, a dozen black silhouettes jumped out of the darkness.

It is Jin Yiwei's person.

But between Xu Yu and Wei Dayong and several people around him, they were all won. There are only a few servants with buckets in their hands, and there are still some who can't get back to look at this scene.

"Wei Dayong intends to murder the mission, and he has now been taken down. The followers quickly pleaded guilty, and the unsuspecting people all stood by the wall."

With a few thumps, the officers all knelt down and shouted that they had no idea.

Tao Heixiu stepped forward and patted Wei Dayong's head: "Well, your surname is Wei, he is not guilty, he murdered the court officials, and knows what grandpa is doing? Jin Yiwei's ambassador, Grandpa and I are from Beijing Daying. After eating your bear heart and leopard guts, I dared to make such an inferior trick to us. "

Wei Dayong's face was pale, his lips fluttered, but he said nothing, but his face was ashamed.

Xue Tingyan came to Guangjicang in advance and brought more than 20 people.

However, taking down a group of people led by Wei Dayong, the following unsuspecting officers could not pose any threat. Soon, they took control of the entire Guangji warehouse.

In the hall, with bright lights, Xue Tingyan interrogated Wei Dayong.

This Wei Dayong looks inconspicuous, but it's tough, but he shut his mouth shut and said nothing.

However, his suit is not good in front of Jin Yiwei. Wei Yunjie made a wink, and someone from Jinyiwei stepped forward to carry it out, and soon a wailing cry broke out outside.

It was a scream that made it so painful that it was terrifying.

Not long after that, the man brought Wei Dayong in again.

I saw a person who was alive and well, who was completely boneless and soaked, but caused by cold sweat.

"Speak."

Then Wei Dayong said.

...

Speaking of this, let's talk about the granary.

There are more than 800 granaries in Dachang, Beijing and 13 provinces, and they are divided into Jingcang, Shuici warehouses, and local warehouses.

Jingcang specializes in military food, government officials, royal courts, and regulates the price of grains in the capital of Beijing. The sub-storage is a temporary warehouse for transshipment of grains from Beijing to other places. To accommodate tax grain, each local warehouse must also store a certain amount of grain each year, in order to deal with and respond to various emergencies.

For example, relief, for example Pingwan.

Pingwan refers to the imperial court's regulation and control of the grain market. When the price of grain shortage in the market rises, the stored grain is put into the market at a positive price to lower the grain price, so as not to damage the grain or the grain. Hurt the people.

Different provinces, states, and counties have different amounts of reserves, and besides that, each province also has a food supervision channel.

The significance of this food supervision is somewhat broad, and it is not standard.

Some provinces do, some do not. For example, Jiangnan and Huguang do, because these are the major food-growth provinces in Dachang. For places prone to disasters, such as Henan, which is close to the Yellow River and has been flooded for nine years, there is also a food monitoring channel, which is mainly to coordinate the food of the whole province in case of unexpected needs.

For example, Guangjikang plays such a role.

At the time of harvesting in each prefecture and county, in addition to the local government gate will retain some grain to fill the normal warehouse, the Guangji warehouse will also intercept a part, and the remaining grain will be transferred to Beijing.

The grains stored in the granary are fixed all year round, and new grains are exchanged for old grains every year.

Food can't stand up to it, so there is a customary rule everywhere, that is, when the price of the grain is right, sell the old grain that has been put in for more than two years and replace it with new grain of the same amount.

The world loves gold and silver, and no one can avoid the vulgarity. The grains of white flowers are put there, and the grains are put into Chen grain. The market price immediately drops by more than half, and some people are tempted.

Obviously, the new grain can be bought at a good price. Why should we wait for it to be released and then sell it at a discount?

So the grain in the granary was moved.

At first it was just a price difference from it, but then it was forgotten that the grain silo was getting less and less, and the east wall was demolished to make up the west wall.

If it is changed to usual, it will be fine. Anyway, Yin is accustomed to eating maize grains. If someone from the court comes down to check, they will get the news in advance, and it will be okay to fill it out.

In fact, Henan experienced a drought last year, but the situation was not serious, and it did not reach the point where the court sent people to rescue the disaster. I was thinking that this year would be a good year, and who thought it would be dry again.

After the disaster was serious, the imperial court ordered the relief of food disasters, but the local authorities received orders, but few places were able to take out food relief.

I said to the court that it was relief, but unfortunately the food was not enough, but in fact, no food was released in private. Even if they are released, the number is very small. This is the main reason why there will be so many victims of this time, and even the capital of Beijing will be affected.

The local Changping positions are not mentioned, and Guangjicang can't run away at first, but the disaster is not bad. It's not a good situation. In such a chaotic situation, how much food is put in is not the final decision of these officials.

However, these people never imagined that Jincha suddenly killed Guangjicang.

The news they received was that the brigade was still in other prefectures.

Not to mention the local officials of Beizhili, they think of the mission as if they saw the **** of plague. But the local magistrate in Henan saw Xue Tingyan, but it seemed like he saw Grandpa Caishen.

It's good to rob big households. They have robbed all the big households. After the disaster relief, they can also muddle through the water and make a confused account.

I never imagined that people would repair the plank road to darken Chen Cang.

This is why Wei Dayong was ordered to do the murder in the dark.

...

With the help of Jin Yiwei, Wei Dayong shook everything cleanly.

Tao Heiniu hated his teeth, and Wei Yunjie, who had always been calm and calm, also flashed coldly in his eyes, but Xue Tingyan was not surprised at all.

In that dream, as the top character of a group of corrupt officials, Xue Tingyan is not greedy, but it does not mean that he does not know that the people below are greedy.

How they are greedy, what means they are greedy, he knows everything, just open one eye and close one eye.

Not deaf, dumb, and not a family member.

If you want to be a man, you must have a variety of vassals underneath. These people are good or bad, but there is no difference to the upper class. There is no fish when the water is clear.

Besides, there are no officials who are not greedy nowadays.

The person above Wei Dayong was Wu Xu, the Chief Envoy, and also the Chief Grain Officer of Henan Grain Road.

As for whether there are any people on it, or whether they are in the same class, Wei Dayong is also unclear. His official rank is too low to know the above.

The east has exposed the white of the fish belly, and it is almost dawn, but things haven't passed.

Not only did Xue Tingyan, who had not slept all night, and others, but also participated in Wu Xu.

While Wei Dayong was acting, many people gathered in his house.

It's hard to conceal the restlessness, but it's easy to pretend to be relaxed. Until late at night, some of them can't survive. These talents go home separately, only Wu Xu continues to guard.

Seeing the Eastern whiteness, Wu Xu couldn't help it, and found a confidant to go to Guangjicang to ask a question. At the same time, a large number of victims gradually approached Kaifeng.

"Everyone insists on persevering again, and the adults who have sent us to find food for us. It won't take long for us to have food."

"Kaifeng will be here soon, and the emperor Chenjia will be in Kaifeng."

In the suburbs of Kaifeng, a team of victims, like the tide, slowly moved forward.

It was announced that the Secretary of the Political Envoy, the Prosecutor-General, the Procurator-General ’s Office, and even the Commander-in-Chief Commander were all located in Kaifeng. The victims were naturally informed by the officials inside, causing shocks.

"Go, let people stop these people." The governor gathered in the yamen, and the governor made Wuxu badly corrupt.

"Adult, who will let so many people go?"

Wu Xu looked at the commander Wei Yitao, and Wei Yitao did not succeed.

"Commander of the Guard."

Wei Yitao stood up and said, "If you continue, there is still something in the officer's command post, so you won't stay too much."

"Commander of the Guard!"

"Okay, he doesn't want to go to this muddy water, why do you have to be strong?" Lu Yanshou said.

"It's just a group of disaster victims, let the following servants stop, and can't commit the people who use the health center. The most important thing now is what happened to the Guangjikang side." Jiang Zhiyi said.

"Xiaguan, then send someone to ask."

...

In the Guangji warehouse, Zhaoer hurried to the night, and even Qier couldn't take a breath, so he took the two maids around to get busy.

Now all the maid around her will be accounted, this is the most basic must.

Not only she and the two maids, but Xue Tingyan.

The four men joined hands and checked the accounts of Guangji Warehouse in recent years.

I have to say that these officials are all good hands in greedy ink, but unfortunately they have failed to do the accounts, and the accounts are done in error. Probably not afraid of people checking, or trying to save trouble, many accounts are unclear.

For this reason, a few people can only go back in time to roughly figure out how much food Guangjicang can earn in a year, how much food it has released, and how much food it has paid this time.

On the other side, the officers and men of Kaifeng have already stopped the victims, but unfortunately things are completely out of their control.

"Why don't you let us go, and the boss is right in front of you." A tall and burly cropper shouted, pulling his neck.

"Yes."

"Adult Chinchat said, he took the first step to raise food, and we will be on the back foot. Do you guys know what Chin Chin is doing, and Chin Chin is your majesty sent to rescue us ordinary people, and we followed him back from Beijing all the way. Chinchat The lord said, the court will distribute food, enough for us to pass this disaster year, not to let a person starve to death, why don't you let us pass. "

"Did they harm Master Chingchat? These corrupt officials hated and poisoned Master Xue. They closed the city gates and prevented us from entering the city. The grains laid by the court were peeled by them. They were not willing to ask for food. Yes, they must have treated Master Xue, so they wo n’t let us pass. ”

The victims were excited.

So many people were excited, but it was not a small scene, but the bureaucracy only came with dozens of people. Where can their opponents can only step back step by step.

"What do you want to do? Are you guys thinking about it?" The leading bureaucrat drew his knife from his waist and threatened.

"Do n’t use pressure to oppress us, the plain-headed people, said the emperor Qingpai. Although my majesty is in the palace, but he cares about the people, so he will send him to investigate the people ’s sentiments, listen to the people ’s opinions, and relieve the people ’s concerns His mother counts as a bird's egg, let's tell us whether it is right or wrong? Can you represent the mission, the government, and your majesty? "

The leading bureaucracy was blocked, and he couldn't help but take a step back and scolded: "You, you people!"

"Let's not talk nonsense with them. It must be that these corrupt officials are embarrassing Master Xue. His Majesty has sent a good official, but we can't let the group of them hurt. Let's go find them to be important!"

"Yes, find them to ask for someone!"
